Singer turned politician MP Bobi Wine has paid tribute to another popular People Power supporter who passed on yesterday, Ssewankambo Hannington aka ‘Sweet Pepsi’ after recently being tortured by the army asserting that the late joined his ancestors minus bringing to book to all those that violated his rights to life.
Sweet Pepsi was brutalized by the military allegedly because of his too much love and support for the Kyadondo East legislator, and the deceased has been on his death bed attaining special medical treatment.
It must be remembered that the late Sweet Pepsi is one of the victims of torture who were assaulted by the army last year, as he confessed his solidarity and support to the Kyadondo East legislator following the OTT tax demonstrations, and Arua Municipality fracas where the later was seriously assaulted by the army.
The former 97.3 Radio Simba ‘Neyimbira byange’ participant has all along been battling with the effects of that aftermath until last night when he succumbed to death, given his severe head injuries.
“Deeply saddened by the untimely death of comrade and artiste Ssewankambo Hannington, commonly known as Sweet Pepsi. Last year, Sweet Pepsi was grossly brutalized by the military. For joining other Ugandans to express solidarity with me and our cause, this harmless and peaceful citizen was bartered by those who were supposed to protect him.” said Bobi Wine.
“The cold, brutal men left him bleeding profusely and went for other targets. It is very painful that he has died without seeing any of those who violated him being brought to justice. Rest in peace comrade. May your memory guide those who remain to work even harder and restore sanity to our nation,“ he added.
Rest in peace Sweet pepsi, and condolences to his family.
